Pelicans on the Marsh Walk

: 4

(Verse 1)
Down where the saltwater meets the shore
There’s an old wooden walkway I’ve walked before
Spanish moss hangin’ like an old man’s beard
And them big white birds that I’ve always revered

(Chorus)
Pelicans on the marsh walk, wings spread wide
Ridin’ the breeze with that Carolina pride
They don’t worry ’bout tomorrow, don’t dwell on yesterday
Just fishin’ and flyin’ in their simple way
Lord, I wish I could be free
Like them pelicans down on the marsh walk with me

(Verse 2)
When the sun starts sinkin’ behind the trees
And the shrimp boats rock in the evening breeze
I take my troubles to that weathered rail
Watch them dive for dinner without ever fail

(Bridge)
City life got me all wound up tight
But down here everything’s gonna be alright
These old birds been here since time began
Got more sense than most any man

(Final Chorus)
Pelicans on the marsh walk, teach me how
To let go of my worries here and now
Take it slow like the tide rollin’ in
Find my peace where the good Lord’s always been
Yeah, I’m learnin’ to be free
With them pelicans down on the marsh walk with me

(Outro)
Just me and them pelicans… down on the marsh walk
